Hi! I'm James. I'm a social worker in the Kirkland area who is passionate about teaching and caring for others. Although I work primarily with adults now, I absolutely love kids and miss all of the fun and energy that they bring. I have a lot of experience working with kids as a babysitter, counselor, and after-school program staff. More recently I worked with a family with three kids, supporting them academically and emotionally during Covid and remote learning, etc. It would be great to connect with new families in the Seattle area who are looking for some extra help. I love to keep things fun and engaging and can connect with kids on many different interests - sports, music, video games, pop culture, food, etc. If I sound like a potential match, please feel free to reach out me. I'm happy to provide references. Thanks for reading my post!

I hired James to watch my 4 and 6 year old boys. My oldest son has anxiety and SPD and has had very few babysitters. The kids had a great time with James and want him to come back--this speaks a lot to James' ability with kids. James read their favorite books, did puzzles with the kids, played legos, and more. My husband and I look forward to having him back!
